GOP candidate's call for labor camp rebuked

A Republican gubernatorial candidate's call for creation of a forced labor camp for illegal immigrants drew rebukes Friday from two GOP lawmakers, who labeled it a low point in the immigration debate.
Don Goldwater, nephew of the late Sen. Barry Goldwater, caused an international stir this week when EFE, a national news agency of Spain, quoted him as saying he wanted to hold undocumented immigrants in camps to use them "as labor in the construction of a wall and to clean the areas of the Arizona desert that they're polluting."
The article described Goldwater's plan as a "concentration camp" for migrants.
Goldwater, a candidate for governor in Arizona, said in a statement Friday that his comments were taken out of context. He said he was calling for a work program for convicted nonviolent felons, similar to "tried and tested, effective and accepted practices" used by state and local jails.
But two Republicans, Arizona Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) and Rep. Jim Kolbe (news, bio, voting record), called Goldwater's comments "deeply offensive" and asked state Republicans to reject his candidacy in the Sept. 12 primary.
"That Mr. Goldwater is either unaware of or indifferent to the loaded symbolism, injustice and un-Americanism of his 'plan' to address the many serious issues caused by illegal immigration reveals his flaws as a candidate and a stunning lack of respect for the basic values of a generous and decent society," McCain said in a statement.
Kolbe said that if the comments are true, Goldwater "has demonstrated his complete unworthiness for public office, and I am confident he will be soundly rejected by Republicans from the party of Barry Goldwater, who consistently demonstrated his compassion and respect for all people. This is a sad day in the national debate on immigration policy."
McCain and Kolbe favor a guest-worker program for illegal immigrants.
Goldwater made a similar comment at an April anti-immigration rally.
"Build us that wall — now!" Goldwater said, referring to a proposal to add 700 miles of fences along the U.S.-Mexico border. He promised then that if elected, he would put illegal immigrants in a tent city on the border and use their labor to build the wall.
Barry Goldwater, the former Arizona senator, was the Republican presidential nominee in 1964.

Is the GOP full of asswads b/c they are asking for republicans to reject his candidacy? That's a terrible thing to say. Or is the whole party an asswad b/c of one stupid person speaking?
Good spin job buddy
OMG! The democrats lead by Howard Dean would have sanctioned this labor camp!
I can spin just like rush limbo
LMAO ! Good one Miller. Tell us what it is like to have Dean's cock in your big fat ass. Perhaps he gives you a reach around every now and then just to keep you thinking he likes you for your hillbilly wit. Most of us know that he loves you best because he likes the way it foams out your nose when you give him blow jobs.

see, if you really knew anything you talk about, you'd know that half the republican party, including Bush, want amnesty for the illegals. so you are a Bush supporter, but hate the GOP, is that it? so you're going to make such a statement based on some article you found on ONE politician. you strike me as a fucking idiot.
You strike me as a cock smoking right wing zealot. Maybe it is your repression of these sucking urges that make you hate homosexuals so much. Lighten up and lossen those cheeks.

He made a valid point, you should try listening. Oh, and maybe responding to the part of the post that dealt directly with the topic at hand, it works a lot better than just insulting anyone who opposes you time after time...
Shove your advice up your piehole.

I'll give your republicans that at least.
